It is estimated that by the year 2050, anti-microbial resistance (AMR) will be responsible for over 10 million deaths per year, translating to AMR killing more people than cancer and HIV combined. GHI is doing its part in helping to reduce anti-microbial resistance of current available drugs. Specifically targeted at low income countries, GHI is implementing a Post-Prescription GHI Hosts First Review (PPR) Program that allows infectious disease doctors to crosscheck antibiotics International prescribed to a patient to ensure treatment is in accordance with antibiotic regulations. Tyler Prentiss, program coordinator at GHI responsible for the PPR program, notes, Exchange “AMR disproportionately affects people in low income countries because they don’t have the same funds or access to resources to implement infection control procedures.” n 2014, GHI hosted its first wave of While the program initially took roots in Nepal and India, GHI also works to integrate international students as part of the program into the local community here in Detroit as well.

  • Anchor Institutions
    Transforming Times News from the Offices of Community Health, Equity & Wellness and Diversity & Inclusion Fall 2019/Winter 2020 Anchor Institutions: The Lift is Heavy, Yet Our Team is Anchored Well By Kimberlydawn Wisdom, M.D., M.S., Senior Vice President of Community Health & Equity and Chief Wellness & Diversity Officer at Henry Ford Health System Part of Henry Ford Health System’s mission is to bring measurable benefit, in increasingly more collaborative ways, to the communities surrounding our programs and services in southeast Michigan. As we broaden, develop and advance that mission, we embrace our role as an anchor institution and claim our responsibility to collaborate to ensure that our communities are safer, healthier, and economically strong. The anchor approach prioritizes local economic development through place-based investing, local hiring and purchasing, and is designed to drive substantial economic progress in our community. This forward-thinking pathway creates an environment where the health system and the community can grow and thrive. A founding and active member of the Healthcare Anchor Network since its inaugural meeting in December 2016, Henry Ford is collaborating with and learning from other anchor institutions. We are redefining ourselves and our anchor role, and it’s not just happening here – it’s happening across the country. In addition, we recently established a committee at the System level, the CHAnCE Council – Community Health Anchor Council Enterprise-wide – to join our corporate and clinical operations. This work is especially evident in the area surrounding Henry Ford Hospital, in the Downtown, Midtown and New Center areas of Detroit. Two major expansion projects that serve as examples of the System’s financial investment are the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center and the Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion.

The robot-assisted radical prostatec- tomy continues being modified with techniques to improve perioperative and surgical outcomes. The application of robotic surgi- cal technique has since been expanded to the bladder and upper urinary tract surgery. The evolution of surgical technique and its expansion of application will continue to improve quality, outcome parameters and experience for the patients.
